PAW season 12 episode 6 thoughts
Added 2025-07-08 06:58:18 +0000 UTCAfter the two kind of meandering Search and Rescue full-length episodes, we get our first two divided into segments. And I honestly think they're much, much better - even if the same issue that these could easily just be normal episodes of the show remains.
But these two actually go into the "Missing persons" idea that I thought was the direction the subseries should take. If they made this the strong identity of the subseries, it may actually have been pretty good.
S12E06a is the best of the season so far. It's Zuma's S&R episode and he gets to shine. Miss Marjorie goes missing while crossing the bay to visit Harrigan, and they have to find her. It's not super difficult to do so, but the tension of a missing person and the step-by-step following of clues is satisfying. Plus it has the nice old-school feel of a simple bay rescue.
06b is also missing persons, or missing creatures at least. It's a Humdinger episode, though, and he's in a pretty whiny mood. The solution to the mystery kind of just anticlimactically becomes obvious, but the episode is ... fine. Nothing special but far from the season's worst.
